Since 2014, Greenwich House Music School has been home to a pop music series called Uncharted, which gives local artists the chance to explore new ideas in front of a live audience. The result is sometimes unpolished but always enervating. The participants’ sharp musicianship and first-time jitters combined with an enthusiastic crowd often leads to synergistic one-time-only performances—the kind you can’t believe you get to be a part of.

This year’s lineup is a pick-and-mix of genre, ethnicity, nationality, and subject matter held together by a topical thread in these #MeToo times: All the headliners are women. These are the Greenwich House concerts you need to be a part of:

Camille ThurmanThursday, April 5; 8 p.m.; $15
This talented singer-saxophonist has won the hearts of relatively niche jazz audiences and is poised to break out into the mainstream. Catch her now so you can say you knew her when.

Marika Hughes and the New String QuartetThursday, May 3; 8 p.m.; $15
Cellist and songwriter Marika Hughes is a jazz master, but she’s also equally adept at funk and pop when she’s with her band, Bottom Heavy. Tonight’s performance focuses on songs from her newest ensemble, the New String Quartet.
